Both my EIDE slots are occupied (Two HDs and two removable disc drives). I added an PCI I/O Card with two EIDE connectors because I wish to add an Iomega zip and a DVD-Rom. My question is do I have to abide with the master/slave configuration on the I/O card like I had to with the on board EIDE connectors? Appreciate any help.

I've never done that, but assume yes and if that doesn't work, then configure by cable select......ie. set both drives to CS and the slave will connect to the center of the ribbon, master on the end.

Usually ATA controller won't work with non-harddisk type devices

Beg to differ but I already have an Iomega Zip drive connected to it and its working fine. I was just wondering since the Iomega does not have a Master/Slave pin, how a second drive will be set up when connected to the same tail.
